  • To make this soup spicier, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes with the thyme and parsley.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
